The Red Riding Trilogy is a neo noir, meaning it's a new styled noir tv series.It has both typical conventions of a neo noir, and non typical.
Typical:It contains smoking, obscurred lighting and sepia filter lighting just like in traditional noir films.
Also it shows most people in suits, smoking or drinking which is again the same as older noir films.
Another similarity is that the anti-hero is carrying a burden, which in this case is that he is trying to live up to his dead fathers standards.
Just like in noir films, this particular neo noir starts off with a flashback, or atleast a future event.
Non-Typical:
Although it does contain music in the background like usual noir films, the music is based around guitars which is very non-typical of a noir film.
Also, the whole setting has changed. Traditional noir films or tv series' are set in urban surroundings, however this is set in yorkshire.
Another majour thing i notice, is that The Red Riding actually contrains blood. Which was prehibited in the time of traditional noir's.
Aswell as that, there is the obvious use of colour, instead of black and white.
